415: Chapter 415 Team Building Plan

Shen Yan was just about to turn his head to speak when he noticed the deep dark circles under Chen Guangke's eyes.

Realizing that Chen Guangke's current workload was indeed a bit too heavy, he paused and said to him, "Forget it, you should rest well for the next couple of days. I'll assign this matter to someone else."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Guangke immediately slammed on the brakes.

"You're going to give this task to someone else?!"

"Aren't you afraid that this matter will be leaked by others?"

Shen Yan shook his head. "You don't need to worry. I have a very suitable candidate."

Chen Guangke looked suspicious.

"I basically know everyone you know. How can there be a very suitable candidate? Don't tell me you plan to hand this entire thing over to Wu Ya?"

Shen Yan continued to shake his head.

"No, her workload is no less than yours. I won't put any more pressure on the two of you."

Saying that, he patted Chen Guangke's shoulder.

"I told you to rest, so rest. Don't worry about so much. If I truly run out of people, I will definitely come to you."

Since he had put it that way, Chen Guangke naturally wouldn't say anything more.

He restarted the car, stepped on the accelerator, and muttered, "Rich people certainly have more things to do. I'm about to die from overwork now."

Shen Yan stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

"How about I find some time for us to go on a team building trip together?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guangke's eyes immediately lit up.

"Really?!"

Seeing how excited he was, Shen Yan narrowed his eyes and asked him, "Are you that eager for team building?"

Chen Guangke shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course! Don't you think about it—since we reopened the company, when have we ever gone out to have fun together?"

That was true.

Ever since he acquired the tycoon system, he had been sprinting wildly on the path of career and romance, rarely having time to go out and play with Chen Guangke.

Since the matter had been brought up today, he didn't intend to pretend he hadn't said anything.

He took out his phone, opened the calendar app, and made a selection.

He decided to give the company staff two days off for team building a week later.

Considering that some people might prefer to stay home and not attend, he told Chen Guangke, "Go inform the managers of the departments below. Team building attendance is not mandatory. Those who want to participate can sign up; those who don't can just take two days off."

When the words were spoken,

Chen Guangke gave Shen Yan a thumbs-up.

"Your execution ability is truly strong, sir! I am truly ashamed of myself!"

Shen Yan scolded him with a laugh.

"Stop flattering me."

...

It was 6:30 PM.

The two finally arrived at Huzhou District after a long drive.

Because the abandoned land they purchased was relatively remote, the two of them got out of the car early to familiarize themselves with the road conditions.

"I feel like building a resort on this piece of land... might not be the best idea."

Seeing no one around, Chen Guangke rubbed his arms.

Shen Yan's thoughts were the complete opposite of Chen Guangke's.

He felt this place was perfect for a resort.

People who come to a resort primarily seek relaxation for mind and body.

This area had no residential buildings and hardly any passing traffic; it could be considered extremely secluded.

"It just looks a bit desolate right now. As long as we develop it well, people will definitely like it."

Trusting Shen Yan, Chen Guangke didn't press the issue further, and the two proceeded directly to the abandoned land.

This piece of abandoned land was enormous, almost stretching out of sight.

Standing on it, the two suddenly felt like peasants who had struck it rich.

"Wow... If we were peasants in the old days, wouldn't we be wealthy now?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Are you overthinking things?"

"If we truly went back in time, this piece of land, which was already half-developed, couldn't be used."

Chen Guangke also remembered that this abandoned land had been partially developed. He scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed. "I forgot. Developed land cannot be used as farmland."

"Hey, what is that over there?"

Saying that, he pointed to a massive object in the distance.

Because of the dim evening light, Shen Yan couldn't see very clearly.

He pulled Chen Guangke over to take a closer look and discovered that the massive object was actually a piece of construction machinery.

"This should be a crane... It must be from the construction crew that was here before."

Since they had been standing quite far away, they hadn't noticed the many scattered construction tools left behind by the construction crew within the abandoned land.

Now that they were closer, they saw a lot of scattered construction equipment here.

If they could salvage and reuse this equipment, they might save some construction costs.

Just as he was thinking this, Chen Guangke shouted again.

"Damn, this vehicle is broken!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan quickly moved closer to examine it carefully.

Just as Chen Guangke said, all these vehicles were indeed broken.

Not only that, but all the good parts inside the vehicles were also gone without a trace.

"Tsk! Who is so unscrupulous to steal even the parts?"

As soon as Chen Guangke finished speaking, Shen Yan sharply slapped the back of his head.

"What do you mean unscrupulous? Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Guangke covered the back of his head, looking wronged. "How am I talking nonsense? Even if construction stopped halfway here, they shouldn't steal the parts from the construction equipment, right?"

Shen Yan made a 'tsk' sound and asked, "What did you tell me before?"

Chen Guangke blinked, looking completely bewildered.

Shen Yan shook his head. "I asked you, why is this land being auctioned?"

Chen Guangke answered truthfully, "Because the construction contractor absconded with the money halfway through... Oh, are you suggesting the people who took these parts were the workers?"

He finally understood...

Shen Yan sighed with exhaustion.

"That's right. You can't expect the contractor who ran off with the money midway to have paid the workers their wages, can you?"

Chen Guangke understood.

The workers couldn't get paid, so they could only take the construction equipment left behind by the contractor to sell.

They would take away all the good equipment directly.

For the broken equipment, they would dismantle the good parts to sell, getting every penny they could.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

The workers toiled so hard for so long, only to end up having to trade this equipment for wages, and they didn't even know how much they could get...

"I misspoke just now, but... what about the equipment that was already completely broken? Should we just throw it away?"

Shen Yan nodded and replied, "Let's throw it away. It's useless staying here. You... forget it, let the developer handle it later."

After saying that, he continued to circle the vicinity, observing the land's construction situation.

Time passed second by second.

Shen Yan and Chen Guangke stayed on the abandoned land for a full three hours.

It wasn't until both of them started feeling sore in their limbs that the two drove back together.
